Regarding arpeggiator
synchronization
"Key Sync." parameter
The timing of the arpeggiator notes depends on the state of
the arpeggiator Key Sync. check box.
If this box is checked, the arpeggiator will start running at
the first note-on that occurs after you've taken your hands
completely off the keyboard.
If this box is unchecked, the arpeggiator will run in
synchronization with the internal/external MIDI clock.
Below, we will explain how synchronization occurs when
the Key Sync. check box is not checked (Synchronization
with Song Start and with MIDI realtime Start messages are
excluded).
Synchronization between arpeggiators A and B
In Combination and Sequencer modes, the two arpeggiators
can run simultaneously. In this case, if one arpeggiator is
already running, and you then run the other arpeggiator
(with "Key Sync." unchecked), the second arpeggiator will
synchronize to the " (Tempo)" based on the first
arpeggiator.
If Key Sync. is checked, arpeggiators A and B will run
independently, each at their own tempo.
Synchronization with the drum track
If you want the arpeggiator to synchronize to the currently-
playing drum track pattern, uncheck the Key Sync. setting.
In this case, the arpeggiator will synchronize to the beat of
the currently-playing drum track pattern.
Note: If you want the drum track pattern to synchronize to
the currently-running arpeggiator, turn on the "Sync"
setting (the Trigger parameter of the Drum Track page of
each mode).
Synchronization between the arpeggiator and se-
quencer in Sequencer mode
If song playback is stopped
• The arpeggiator will synchronize to the " (Tempo)"
based on the internal MIDI clock timing.
• If an RPPR pattern is playing in Sequencer mode, the
arpeggiator will synchronize to the beat based on that
pattern.
Note: If you want the RPPR pattern playback to synchronize
to the currently-running arpeggiator, set "Sync" to SEQ
(SEQ P10: Pattern/RPPR– RPPR Setup page).
Pattern playback will synchronize to the " (Tempo)" timing
of the arpeggiator.
While playing back or recording a song
• The arpeggiator will synchronize to the beat based on
the timing of the song.
Synchronization with Song Start
• If the arpeggiator is turned on (ARP ON/OFF switch is
on) and is running, it will reset to the beginning of its
arpeggio pattern when a Song Start is received. (This is
unaffected by the Key Sync. setting.)
• In Sequencer mode when Key Sync. is unchecked and
the ARP ON/OFF switch is on, if you start the
arpeggiator by pressing a key during the pre-count
before recording begins, the arpeggiator will start its
pattern as soon as recording begins, and will be
recorded.

Synchronization with external sequencer play-
back
If " (Tempo)" is EXT (i.e., if Global P1: MIDI MIDI Clock is
External MIDI or External USB) in Program, Combination,
or Sequencer modes, the arpeggiator will synchronize to the
MIDI Clock and Start messages received from a connected
MIDI device.
Note: Synchronization will occur in the same way if MIDI
Clock is Auto and MIDI realtime clock messages are being
received from a connected MIDI device.
Synchronization with external MIDI clock
The arpeggiator will synchronize to the " (Tempo)" timing
of the external MIDI clock.
Synchronization with MIDI realtime Start messages
If the arpeggiator is turned on and running, an incoming
MIDI realtime Start message will reset the arpeggiator to the
beginning of its pattern (This is unaffected by the Key Sync.
setting).
